➤ Summary of backstory:
Jamie Ganix quit school early due to an abusive teacher and joined the army with the last draft for the Vietnam War. Something went wrong and out of desperation and escapism brought on by PTSD, Jim accepted a drug. Along with a few other soldiers, he transformed and found himself wandering just outside of the world he knew, wandering in a Nightmarish hell. Much of this era is blanked from his memory due to amnesia, but he came out of it after a decade with scars he was sure should have killed him. He attempted to live normally at this time but something went terribly wrong... he doesn't speak much about it at all but the guilt he carries is fairly clear [will reveal more as it progresses IC]
